One of the lamest movies of recent decades. So much hype and so little delivery. The ending got me. I thought: "You kidding?" That's it? There was a lot of laughing going on as there seemed to be a college crowd there together that most had read the book.
Score one for the righteous old guy: Some kid one down from me started getting on my nerves with his cell phone. (I am just mystified that the younger generations think their lives and thoughts are so important that they must opine day and night to each other.) Then a never before opportunity happened --- I looked down and saw the movie on his phone at the beginning of a dungeon scene and he started to typing. I leaned down and said, in a calm parental tone : "How many laws are you breaking now?" He looked back at me as if he didn't hear me. I repeated then he straightened up and killed the phone. I hope he remembers the incident before somebody else gets him arrested and tortured by greedy-assed Hollywood lawyers.
Follow Ups:
of all time followed by Passion of the Christ.
Both movies about BDSM and flogging for 1.5 to 2 hours.
This is basically a romance novel level story with pseudo BDSM underpinning. As someone who has, shall we say, in the scene friends the BDSM elements were pretty much completely wrong. Indeed, all the feminists come out ranting about the dom sub thing which is kind of funny since in reality it is the sub who is almost always the one in "real control - subbing from the bottom as it's called. Learning about this stuff from this kind of book or movie seems rather dumb to me. People can go onto forums and ask questions about it if they want -open an account on fetlife if that's your curiosity.
As for the pirating of the film on camera - yes arrest them and fine them $250,000 and then note they have not one penny to their name. Throw them in jail - great so tax dollars can support them at probably $50,000 a year when you factor in food, guards, medicines etc etc etc.
The thing with the whole downloading community is these are people who will download a movie they never would have bought in the first place. Ie; if there was no internet they would not go and buy the DVD or Blu-Ray. Ditto for music albums/songs. People who can afford it will buy it - people who can't won't anyway. Which isn't to say it's not stealing but it's not the sort of stealing that is going to take money from the studio. It's not a direct line that 1,000 Lady Gaga albums were downloaded thus she lost 1,000 album sales - maybe she lost 10 because the other 990 would not have bought it anyway. Further Libraries have vast music titles - nothing stops people from taking it home and ripping the CD.
It doesn't excuse it but IMO law enforcement would be better off going after something else with their limited time and resources.
And maybe movie makers could make some actual movies that people will actually WANT to buy the deluxe Blu-Ray edition of and place it adoringly on their prized movie collection shelf. By the sounds of it Fifty Shades of Grey isn't worth buying or even bothering to download for free or taking an hour and half of one's life. Perhaps if they pay me $30 an hour I'd watch it.
BUT...more so than story or the Movie...was the casting...
Just off the top of head...
Matt Bomer...he is proving his range, one role at a time...
Alex Pettyfer...I like this kid...
Tom Hardy...he has range, with many good things to come...
Michael Fassbender...not much to say here...see Shame...
Ryan Gosling...shows great patience...
Lilly Collins...vulnerable looker...
Brit Marling...she is my new favorite actress...easy on the eyes too...
Leighton Meester...really liked her in The Oranges...
Felicity Jones...seems to have some depth...
I was waiting for someone to post their thoughts on this Movie...silly me for not thinking BW would step-up to the plate and take one for the team...
Thanks BW...again...

...you have to undergo just to keep us informed.
And you were served one.
I think one can talk about perfect customer satisfaction here.
What exactly were you expecting, if not total garbage?
I didn't read any reviews but saw the Tomater Meter reading and thought, "could it be that bad"? Yes, it can! They could have gotten an actress with a little better bod, too. Now hardware stores are surging in the red rope department.
I wonder if the book is as puerile as the film? Get back to me on that, VK. I'm sure it's on your list.
Remember what a sensation 'The Story of O' was in the 50's and 60's? I guess whomever wrote Grey thought no one would remember it and then proceeded to feebly rip it off.
They were not half as bad as this one. :)
